[Spoilers] PB12 Lurker Thread: Where everyone blames the mapmaker

I honestly think he also fails the "interesting" test.

Man...I mean I know I'm probably not much better, but BaII's first turn move+reasoning is... smoke

Yes, that does seem rather suspect, though I'm sure someone said the same about my debacle-of-a-start in pbem 46. It won't lose him the game. And it's the map-maker's fault anyway.

Video looking at the starts for each player, and how that factored into their leader and civ picks. As usual, I always talk too much and go on for too long, but hopefully this is interesting to some of you. Thanks to Krill for providing the Worldbuilder save file to make this possible.

That's the lot of being a mapmaker. They only notice the one thing you get wrong and not the 1000 things you got right. It's why I stopped doing mapping in other games. Also 'cause I'm horrible and don't have enough time.

These guys are weedier than the 11 crew.

We should have a naming system specifically for greens games. Somehow appending G at the end of the name doesn't scream it loud enough IMO.

Perhaps it is arrogant of us, but since PBEM1 a lot of players have signed up and gradually improved our civ skills (and I'm including myself in that number). We're judging people who have just started an attempt to climb to the top of a mountain when we aren't necessarily even near the top ourselves. And if I'm rambling it's because it's past 2AM and I don't want to write an essay any more, and am procrastinating between writing sentences, but can't go to sleep until it's finished frown

Actually, I meant the greens in 11 actually are doing pretty well with an obvious exception or two, smart guys. Meanwhile, here, we have the Unlearning.
